Born in Saint-Hubert, Belgium, Redouté, went on to study in Paris and London. The botanical artist survived the French Revolution and gained as his patron the Empress Joséphine Bonaparte. Redouté's large contributions to floral art and botanical illustration may be enjoyed through this Kimbell exhibition drawn mainly from private collectors. Although Redouté is known for his oils paintings, he is most admired for his works in watercolors on vellum for their “composition, palette, and pictorial brilliance." Organized by the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science in collaboration with the Kimbell Art Museum. An accompanying catalogue features an introduction to Redouté by Dr. Marianne Roland Michel.
